Anna Wintour laments consumerism and $25,000 price tags
God help us all. Anna Wintour is preaching value over consumerism, in perhaps the last sign of the apocalypse and definitely a sign of the very real financial crisis touching a heretofore untouchable luxury market.
“Right now, what’s going to work is something their customer doesn’t have in her closet and that has a real intrinsic sense of value. …Because to be honest there’s been too much product, too much copy-catting, and, probably too much consumerism. I think a sense of clarity, a sense leveling off and a sense of reality is needed.”
The Wall Street Journal interview includes the usual musings that even those who can afford it don’t want to be seen spending, no one wants “overly flashy, overly glitzy, too Dubai, whatever you want to call it. I just don’t think that’s the moment.”
